The recent threads on dominants being nice/gentlemanly and the thread that quoted Anais Nin by simplewhispers and part of that quote was “but as a woman, oh, God, as a woman I want to be dominated.” Got me thinking again about what I need and enjoy feeling from a dominant and how during my search I was often left cold by many dominants who enjoy intellectualize domination but seem uncomfortable in the physical manifestations of domination mentally and physically in their day to day life. I am not saying people who use more formalized rules and rituals and supplement with scenes as bad or less dominant at all but I do enjoy the feeling of being truly dominated in a physical and mental way that often cannot be done by mere rules and scenes here or there.

That was probably totally confusing, my question is we often, I certainly have, use the phrase domineering in a negative light often as some who acts like a bitch or an asshole, but cannot a person be naturally domineering in a good way in this life? It seems we often boil down M/s into the simple slave does what Master says and that really is it, but is that feeling of what Anais Nin wrote “but as a woman, oh, God, as a woman I want to be dominated.” do others feel that it can be as much about atmosphere as actions or is this simply a chicken versus the egg thing?

The man (Korean born) I studied martial arts with for 20 some odd years took me aside one day after I got promoted to instructor at the studio.

He said that in order to teach a student, you have to get them to do what you want them to do, regardless of their questions, comments, complaints, whining, etc.

Which is not to say you stand around obnoxiously and shriek JUMPING 2 FOOT SPINNING ROUNDHOUSE KICK NOW!  But if you are trying to teach them to do something, you need to understand where they are in their training, and ultimately ratchet down your expectations until you give them something to do which gives them a growth opportunity, and make sure they do it because you asked them to.

He said that when you start getting into discussing the questions, comments, complaints, whining, etc., you have just turned over control of the training session to the student.  Nothing more will happen in their training that day, and to simply move on and regroup.  Try again later or the next day.

That, to me, is what Domination is all about.  It is giving the person something today which pushes them a bit further than they were 5 minutes ago, all the while seeking them having a deeper understanding of themselves and their strivings.

What has always fascinated me about this is the amount I learn from teaching another person. 

Yummy, power exchange.

Back in the day when I was being brought up in the lifestyle and taught what it meant to be a dominant I was given a wonderful lesson on the responsibilities of being dominant and reflected a bit of what Sinergy was saying. It boils down to being a bit like boot camp; having the layers peeled away slowly to the core and being rebuilt into the submissive a Dominant sees in their depth. It's taking that small fear of the unknown and pushing them step by step to achieve those things you know they are capable of achieving - even though they may not be sure of it themselves. With each progressive achievement the desire to continue growing reaps it's own reward.

I agree with Sinergy that I learn from each person I teach and as they evolve I, in turn, evolve with them. Their growth becomes my growth and vice versa. When either side begins to feel that they have nothing left to learn and no further growth is to be achieved that is when stagantion sets in and devolving begins.

Not sure if I answered the question or not. LOL

domineering to me means somewhere there is resistance...and the one domineering is forcing their will over that of anothers....nothing wrong with that persay...but i dont find it very inspirational myself...anyone can brow beat another's submission...what is truly extraordinary is when they cultivate, catalyze and curate it.

The man (Korean born) I studied martial arts with for 20 some odd years took me aside one day after I got promoted to instructor at the studio.

He said that in order to teach a student, you have to get them to do what you want them to do, regardless of their questions, comments, complaints, whining, etc.


This is of course assuming that everyone is on the same page. Such as the students at the martial arts are there to learn that particular style and enjoy your particular teaching methods, knowing full well that there are other teaching methods and other types of martial arts. With that in mind, I think choice is missing. One cannot dominate another who chooses not to submit to that style, just as one cannot teach a die-hard jujitsu student to change their style to akido, no matter if they try to make them do what they want, regardless of their questions, comments, complaints, whining, etc.

With that, I also would like to say that if a sub is thoroughly not comfortable with doing something, then I think logical and rational complaints and whining would be considered by a wise Master :P

As for the original topic, I believe that a person can be domineering and not in an annoying fashion. For me, personally, I abhor excessive kindness- I would hate someone who focuses on my pleasure more than theres, such as getting me to orgasm, or waiting until I am full of food to tell me to do something, or tugging that chain just ever so slightly so it tickles. I don't like it! I do, of course, want a Dom to care about me and protect me and also make wise decisions, but that does not mean he must be gentle or easily persuaded.

My own Master is exactly what I want. He gets what he wants from me when he wants it with observation toward logic in reasoning. For example, I was very hungry a couple of days ago and asked if I could go ahead and make a bowl of ramen. He questioned my weight goal and set down a firm 'no', despite me being hungry. Most would look at this and think it's just plain mean, I look at it and think "He's trying to help me focus on my goals and not sway off the path". As a result, I ended up digging out some salmon and buying some fresh veggies to make, which ended up being more satisfying and yummy! Another example I can provide is our frequency of intercourse. The last time I visited was 12 days. Out of those entire twelve days, we had intercourse once, but every day, sometimes 2-3 times a day, he would get a TJ (throat job). It was miserable for me- my hair was clinched, my breath was held, my face was slapped, and I've never, ever, ever appreciated the taste of gential fluids from any sex. However, as I have mentioned before, it is what I want and like- to focus on his pleasure instead of mine, for although my body could be satisfied, I find it more pleasing for myself to satisfy him, even if he does make things a bit rougher than the Nicer doms might approve of. :P

Hope that answered your question!

I like that! That is kind of my point there is more to it then obey there is an element of the atmosphere and the way a person goes about the power exchange not the theory/goals and things of that nature.

I do not disagree with what you wrote Sinergy it is a good philosophy and important in a power exchange relationship but I do not necessarily believe that it is all intellectual like that either. I can only speak for myself but feeling the other imposing their will on me is quite important, and this is not about yelling, insulting or some fake demonstrative behavior. Many times do not want a lecture/reason but do just want to be told do this end of discussion.

And thus comes the quandary, especially when one party (presumably the dominant) has significantly more experience than the other, say a total newbie.

I know that I can be trusted, 200%.  I have a pretty good idea of what you might like, style-wise, and believe me I can use a dozen different domination styles.  I know how to handle little psychological and/or emotional hiccups that are bound to occur.  I also like the art of the surprise, and how valuable that can be.

But you're totally new.  You need to understand you're going to be all right.

I can spell out A-Z what I might do and why, and will gladly if you think that is what you need from me (on a purely intellectual level).  But having done that, isn't there a high likelihood that whatever 'mystique' I possess by just leaving me to my own devices, that that mystique will disappear completely?  Is THAT what you want?  I think not.

99% of the time, I will be trusted implicitly right from the start.  But there have been people I have talked to in the past that are so skittish that it's constantly 'one step forward, two steps back and a couple more sideways'.  That can be fun if all you want to do is to play headgames, but to build an actual r/t setup and relationship from that is exhausting.

While I missed the threads you mentioned, toserve…I really enjoyed this one.  I completely understand what you’re talking about with some Dominants.  Some seem to find domination a mantle they pick up while roll-playing…which they drop as soon as they get laid.  I’m with you, I prefer it when the D/s relationship is integrated into our everyday life; when I may be asked anytime to do something specific (Yes, he asks…though I know better than to imagine I have a choice, LOL)

Once I have submitted I don’t behave as if I have choice (beyond all the common-sense stuff).  I want to obey and serve him; he expects it...and regularly. 

Things like:

  • “I want you to say ‘cunt’…I want you to know it is just a word.”  He is not happy if I say ‘pussy’. 

  • Or, perhaps he will remind me I get more attention from him than is probably smart…and to stop whining when he calls to say goodnight and wants off the phone in something less than 15 minutes.

  • Or…politely tosses his breakfast toast and reminds me he prefers it lightly browned; not crispy.

  • Or even…looks aghast at me if I close my knees to his view because of embarrassment; as if I just said ‘No’ to him.

He just expects compliance…and freely uses me for service in many ways: research, errands, sexual pleasure.

I’m with TGW and appreciate it when mine guides me.  He seems to know me better than I know myself; which I love…and encourages me to face my foibles and embrace the strong woman that I am.

Yummmmm, tigress…I learned two new words today.  I like your three Cs!  You’re right, too; when you find them in a person…it IS truly extraordinary!

WOW…ain’t THAT the truth, though!

So, for me, the very fact that our D/s relationship IS a part of our daily life, means that it is not always strongly physical or forceful in anyway…though I’m still with toserve and adore that part, too!  Yup, yank my chain...please!

Ohhhhhhhhh...I don't get that part, either, Jeff!  Ya know...what on earth is a person doing playing with another they don't yet trust?  Isn't the whole reason we're here (those of us interested in a D/s relationship, at least) to meet people of like minds?  WHY on earth do so many act as if it's all a game?  It's not cute for a grown person to act coy; either embrace your submissiveness (or Dominance, for that matter)  ...or don't.  But why waste time?

That would be why I prefer to behave as if I have no choice; you know...that whole 'conscious suspension of reality’ thang.  I have given him power over me because I WANT to be his submissive; to obey and serve him as best I can.  I don’t wanna play games and I want D/s in my everyday life.

Yeah, what Sinergy said:  "Yummy, power exchange. "

I often use the phrase ‘naturally strong.”  I’ve even recently said that I prefer a dominant man who expects me to serve him, not just because I’m a submissive, but because I am a woman and he is a man.  D/s is the strongest thread in our relationship but not the only thread. 
 
You obviously said it so much better than I ever did.  This is exactly what I meant.
 
Usually  the word domineering does have a negative connotation to it but my Master does have a domineering presence about him.  It is not obtrusive, obnoxious or intoxicating.  I admire it.

What you describe is what I consider dominance.  I think I can sum it up as follows, "Dominance leaves no choice, it accepts no excuses or evasions, one can either obey or face the consequences of disobedience.  Dominance does not need to be angry, hostile or violent.  Dominance calmly asserts itself with all the inevitableness of a crashing wave, it will engulf you and your only choice is to either surrender to it or run from it."

I've always seen domineering as being behavior characterized by irrationality and unreasonableness.  That is, someone who is domineering might demand something regardless of the circumstances, they give thought only to what they want.  In that, domineering is childish.  Conversely, dominance does take circumstance into account, though it does not accept excuses or evasion.  While it too makes demands, it considers if those demands are reasonable or not under the circumstances... and assuming they are insists on obedience without excuse.

The difference between excuse and circumstance being something like... you didn't go to work today because you didn't feel like it (excuse) vs. you didn't go to work today because you were very ill and have a doctor's note (circumstance).  Dominance would accept the circumstance, but not the excuse.

I am more than capable of explaining myself, sometimes I am not in the mood to do so.

toserez,

One does not have to dominate in a verbal or physical manner to create the atmosphere for an effective D/s rerlationship. Both minds need to be on the same page and that may take time to develope but when it is there, the supreme relationship occurs

I've enjoyed reading this thread so far...but I have to admit there is a part of me that is just a bit skeptical about it being this way for all submissives.

I will make a disclaimer right here that:
I know neither the OP nor any other submissive has expressed the opinion that all submissives feel this.
I have had experience with long term D/s relationships in which the submissives DID feel the need to experience the dominant behavior described herein.
I personally feel that this should happen in a good D/s relationship and that there not be any confusion about the fact that, if the couple are both in agreement, it needs to happen for the submissive's sake...the dominant's sake...and the sake of the intertwined male/female D/s relationship they share.
 
Still....I've had a couple of short term relationships in which part of the reason I left was because expression of such dominance as described here...even in steps...met resistance of a fairly strong nature.  Reasons given for the resistance during discussion of this later were not entirely convincing, revealed insecurities, lack of trust and an unwillingness to "be treated THAT way". 

And I would be willing to bet that I am not the only dominant that some sort of resistance to dominant behavior as described herein has been given to...there surely must be others on here who've experienced it also.

Exactly- Dominance IS.  This is why I don't get why people think switches are "less dominant." 

Though I do get why people want/need displays OF dominance :)

If by atmosphere you are referring to presence, the projection of ones real self, in this case dominant self, than in my mind that is far more important, or at least far more real, than the rituals and the rules, because it is the difference between acting and being.

So if it is a chicken and egg thing I think for sure, presence first and rules and rituals a distant second.

P.S. I dont really have anything profound to add that hasnt already been said, but I think this is right on the money!

I did not mean you at all with my comments. My points were many times, at least for me, domination is not just Master says I do but there is an atmosphere or actions within the dynamic that feel physically or mentally dominating in there nature. What you described is totally dead on for much of the dynamic but for a person like me, I need more then what you describe mixed in with scenes.

I only mentioned yelling, insulting or some fake demonstrative behavior because I felt people might think that is what I meant by atmosphere which is not totally the case. Actually Bearlee wrote it much better then I did. I wish I had written that.

Padriag, I enjoyed your post a lot.
